HEIGHT, WEIGHT & FORTY TIMES

Over the course of the past several months much is said and written about the computer numbers of prospects in the draft. You'll see several differences in these numbers from different sources. We try and be as accurate as possible and give these numbers based on the playing height, weight and speed during each players last collegiate season, not some pumped up artificial number.

There is forty speed and playing speed, playing weight and workout weight. The weeks and months leading to the draft is filled with prospects working hard to specifically add bulk, become stronger or get their forty time down. In reality many of these prospects cannot maintain this weight during the grind of a long season or do not play to the listed stopwatch speed; running backs don't run in a straight-line (which is how the forty yard dash is recorded), the bodies of both offensive and defensive linemen break down and cannot maintain the added bulk or, if they do, they will lose a good amount of quickness and speed.

Where pertinent in the players bio we spoke of either how they performed in recent individual or combine workouts to give you an idea of what direction they are headed.

Bio:

Two-year starter who caught 15 passes for 103 yards and one touchdown in 2017 to earn an invitation to the Senior Bowl. Made 15 receptions for 137 yards and rushed once for four yards as a junior. Switched positions from quarterback to fullback before the 2015 season and didn’t record a stat.

Pos:

Hard-charging lead blocker who plays violent football. Quick out of his stance, starts with excellent knee bend and immediately engages defenders at the point of attack. Explosive at the point, displays outstanding vision and attacks assignments. Keeps his head on a swivel and always looks for someone to hit. Possesses outstanding blocking vision. Solid receiver out of the backfield who adjusts to errant throws and grabs the ball away from his frame.

Neg:

Must improve his blocking balance. Plays to one speed and shows limited burst.

Analysis:

Bawden plays with limited speed but is a solid lead blocker with pass-catching skill. He has next-level potential in a system that does not require him to travel far from the line of scrimmage.
